ARRIVAL OF THE GEN. J.K. BARNES.

This fine new hospital transport arrived from Hilton Head on Friday morning. Assistant Surgeon THOS. MCMILLIN, United states Army, in charge. She brings about four hundred sick and wounded soldiers from Gen. SHERMAN's army. Two deaths on the passage -- ISAAC J. EDWARDS, Company K, Fifty-third Indiana Regiment; J. MOTT, Company G, Fifty-third Indiana Regiment. They were brought to this city and buried, by Mr. A.J. CASE, in the Cypress Hill Cemetery. A number of the men belonged to the Ninetieth Illinois Regiment and the Twenty-fifth Ohio. A small number only belong to the One Hundred and Twenty-seventh New-York. The colored troops were mostly from the Fifty-fourth and Fifty-fifth Massachusetts Regiments. The men were transferred to the hospital transport Thomas P. Way, and all taken to the De Camp General Hospital, David's Island, where they were kindly received by Surgeon WEBSTER, and where they will be well cared for.
